They Don't Want A Scientist Who Makes Educated Guesses. They Want Someone Who Sounds Authoritative To

They don't want a scientist who makes educated guesses. They want someone who sounds authoritative to confirm the assumptions that they already have.

So I came out to my brother and it's so silly because I was sooooo nervous even though he is literally like the most supportive person and does not have even a sliver of homophobia or toxic masculinity in him. I know its mostly just because I have a lot of anxiety but I literally wanted to throw up beforehand and then it went to well. Like he was just so chill and then was like "well then I guess I can wish you happy pride" which was just like ahhhh I love you.

Anyways, I am just really proud of myself even though its not that big of a deal. but yeah :)

LITERALLY!

I wish we had gotten a Boygenius Hot Ones. Can you imagine?

ok so I am very stressed and sad atm and there are so many maladaptive coping mechanisms I reaaaaly would like to use but now that I am an adult (as opposed to being a teenager) they just seem like embarrassing??? and 100% objectively that is a good thing because SH or taking too many of my meds or punching the wall so much I break my hand are all very bad ideas and anything that makes me not do them is a good thing BUTTTT I really want to. again, ik wanting to do these things is stupid and its a very good thing that I am not going to, but ughhh I wish I was just a teen who didn't have any self preservation instincts and didn't care if I lived or died and could just do something dumb and at least feel better for a few minutes
